Third-Party Dependency

A component that your program requests is referred to as a dependency. Typically, it is a service that is accessed by HTTP, a database, or a file system. It contains information about who authored the code, when it was provided, how security flaws and known vulnerabilities were checked for, supported versions, and license details. Reusing existing code during software development will save you time. For instance:

• open-source libraries or frameworks: .NET Framework is an open-source developer platform in the programming languages C#, Visual Basic and F#. It is one of the three .NET platforms developed by Microsoft, the other two being .NET Core and Xamarine/Mono. .NET Framework specializes in applications that run on Windows. For more information check developer page for application framework.

• commercial software license that your organization already has or could buy.
